Backing Up = Peace of Mind
Accidents happen. Files get deleted, hardware fails, and sometimes software just doesn’t behave. A good backup ensures you’re never left empty-handed.
Why Have Multiple Backups?
- 💾 One backup can fail — having two (or three) means safety
- 🔥 Fire, theft, or disaster can destroy local storage
- 🧪 Ransomware or viruses can corrupt active files and backups
- ⏪ More versions means you can go back in time to recover changes
Types of Backup Solutions
- Local Backup: To external drives or other NAS volumes. Fast, easy to restore.
- Cloud Backup: Off-site storage on HogansSound or other remote servers. Ideal for disaster recovery.
- Versioned Backup: Stores multiple snapshots of your files so you can recover previous states.
- Scheduled Backup: Automates the whole process — set it and forget it.
What We Recommend
We strongly suggest a 3-2-1 strategy:
- ✅ 3 copies of your data (1 main, 2 backups)
- ✅ 2 different storage types (e.g., Drive + USB)
- ✅ 1 copy off-site (such as HogansSound Cloud)
